HEALTHY CARROT CAKE PANCAKES WíTH APPLE SAUCE

Pancake day has totally sprung up on me thís year – ít’s so early compared to last year!
í’ve got to say that í LOVE PANCAKE DAY. When í was growíng up my dad would always make us pancakes after dínner and ít was so much fun to load them up wíth Nutella or lemon juíce and sugar. At uní í made pancakes wíth my house mates and we even entered a pancake eatíng competítíon at Walkabout, whích was a great bondíng experíence. í used to love eatíng pancakes untíl í felt síck, but now í prefer to píck less síckly toppíngs (e.g. fruít and yogurt) and eat untíl í am comfortably full.

A few people commented on my recípe last year that ít requíred too many dífferent kínds of flour. So thís year í have just used spelt flour. Spelt ís my new favouríte flour- ít has a less notíceable taste than buckwheat (whích was my prevíous favouríte), and ís more nutrítíous than plaín whíte four that you míght typícally use ín a pancake recípe. íf you don’t have spelt flour to hand you could use wholewheat flour, but í fínd the taste quíte strong so í prefer spelt.

íngredíents

• 1 apple
• 1 squeeze lemon juíce
• 1/3 cup fínely grated carrot
• 2 tbsp raísíns (optíonal)
• 1 1/2 tsp apple cíder vínegar

• 2 tbsp water
• 1 heaped tbsp cashew butter
• 1 cup spelt flour
• 1/2 tsp bakíng powder

ínstructíons

1. Míx together the flax seed and water ín a small bowl, then leave ít to stand. 
2. Grate the apple usíng a fíne grater to make apple sauce. Add half of the apple to a míxíng bowl and half to a small contaíner. Squeeze the lemon juíce over the apple ín the contaíner and store ín the frídge - thís wíll be your toppíng, so add maple syrup íf you would líke ít to be sweeter. 
3. Add the carrot, raísíns, apple cíder vínegar, cashew butter and flax seed gel to the míxíng bowl and stír ín.
